The Adventures of Drip the Drop
Join Drip the Drop on his exciting adventures through the never-ending journey of the water cycle. In this story he visits the beautiful Channel Islands, Jersey and Guernsey.
...Sometimes I am invisible.
Sometimes I'm mist or fog.
I've been splashed by yellow wellies
and shaken by a dog.
I've been part of a snowman
a rainbow and a tear,
floated in a bubble -
and all in just one year.
Drip has been frozen in a glacier for what seems like ever and all he wants to do is find out what happens to his friends in the ocean, in the clouds, rivers and reservoirs - and everywhere else that water goes. When his glacier starts to melt his dreams come true and he has the most amazing time discovering what it's like to be free - and sometimes salty!

Why rhyme?
Rhyme engages children in a way that straight prose doesn't. Studies show that children who are exposed to rhyming books are more likely to develop strong literacy skills, including phonemic awareness, vocabulary and sentence construction. When children listen to rhyme, they are learning without even realising it-everything from word patterns to sentence structure.
Rhymes have been introducing children to the wonderful world of words since the first nursery rhymes were written and recited in the 1500s! Not only does Drip the Drop entertain, but it also helps your child's brain to grow.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
My passion for English and creative writing is what initially fired my interest in a career in marketing, where writing covered everything from drafting articles and other pieces for the C Suite, to press releases and internal communications. I have also always had a particular flair for rhyme, which I've applied commercially during my career for radio commercials, and to writing lyrics for a local musician. Rhyme is a wonderful way of educating and entertaining children at the same time. It makes things like sentence construction, word patterns, phonemics and vocabulary so accessible. I'm sure there was a lot more rhyme around when I was young, and I am determined to change that! Friends and family have often suggested that I write children's books but until a few years ago I hadn't given it much thought. My first story was inspired by my then three-year old granddaughter and since then, in partnership with my long-time friend and illustrator, Mark Holley, I have written several others. Apart from the joy of seeing the stories beautifully illustrated and in print, there's not much I enjoy more than reading my stories in local schools and the library, which I do as often as I can. We currently have three genres, and one of our stories, The Adventures of Drip the Drop, which is about the water cycle, is being used in schools in both Science and English lessons, which is very exciting!
